There’s a cause Michael Chandler fights inside a cage as a substitute of educating grade faculty math.
After sitting on the sidelines for 2 years attempting to coax Conor McGregor right into a combat that was by no means going to occur, the previous Bellator titleholder returned to the Octagon at UFC 309 for a rematch with former light-weight champion Charles Oliveira.
The primary time round, Chandler rattling close to completed ‘Do Bronx’ within the opening spherical. This time, Chandler may barely keep on his toes, getting outwrestled by a jiu-jitsu man for almost all of their five-round affair in Madison Sq. Backyard.
Trying again on his lackluster exhibiting throughout a latest interview, Chandler made a slightly complicated and downright delusional assertion.
“I’m not happy with my performance. I would give myself a 2 out of 10,” Chandler mentioned on The Ariel Helwani Present. “I cannot overstate how horrible of a performance this was or the set of circumstances it was after that first round compared to what my vision was for what I’m capable of. I believe I beat Charles Oliveira nine times out of ten. Obviously, I’ve lost to him twice now – two outta two. I have a 100% loss rate to Charles Oliveira, so I understand why people might roll their eyes at that” (h/t MMA Mania).
Someone inform Mr. Chandler that his math ain’t mathing.
